Flexible Screen Split-Screen Control Using Dynamic Fold Boundaries

The patent transforms the fixed folding position into a dynamic, user-selectable position. The system detects folding operations at any position on the flexible screen and dynamically adjusts the folding boundary line based on user input, allowing the split-screen display position to change adaptively rather than being constrained to a predetermined location.

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms through sensors that detect folding operations and user interactions. The controller receives feedback about the folding position and user selections, then adjusts the folding boundary line accordingly, creating a closed-loop system that responds to user needs while maintaining operational accuracy.

The patent combines multiple sensor types (angle sensors, touch sensors, infrared sensors) into an integrated detection system. These sensors work together synergistically to detect folding operations, where the angle sensor provides baseline folding detection, touch sensors validate user interaction, and infrared sensors provide additional verification, creating a multi-layered accuracy system that is more effective than individual sensors alone.

The sensor system is designed to serve multiple functions: detecting the folding operation itself, validating user intent through touch interaction, providing additional verification through infrared detection, and determining the precise folding position. This multi-functional approach allows a single integrated system to achieve high measurement precision across multiple detection dimensions.
